It's crazy how many people missed this; I didn't. (Of course, this may have been because I was staring like a crazy obsessed person thinking "This totally makes it MORE canon!" Because no Just Friend follows you to Venezia and bothers to get a ticket on a boat to said place when he could simply stow away underneath like a normal assassin. And then considers buying something for you when he could just steal it like a normal assassin.)

omg... I missed it too. It made me so sad. I'd been playing for like 6 straight hours and when the action button came up I just didn't get it in time... I was like NOOOO LEONARDO I'M SO SORRY!!!!This is awesome
